Hi Shevy,

STOP FEEDING

You don't want them jumping out as they feel they are in a toilet and not feeling to good

It can be a fine line when it comes to growing fish on in smaller systems and the problem is if it goes wrong it normally goes wrong quicker and can be big time and then you have to be on the ball.

Not feeding will cause them no harm whatsoever.

Hi Shevy,

No don't feed mate you have to get this in order and stable before feeding as otherwise you can end up doing more damage than good.

You fish will be fine without food for ages so get the water spot on first before you start feeding and start off slowly and keep on top of the cleaning and water changes.
